I am trying to use a 32" Phillips LED TV as a computer monitor. It works and looks great, however the resolution 1920x1080 looks stretched on the screen itself.

I can see only have of the start menu bar and barely any of the top of the Firefox browser.

Initial searching online came up with the TV's aspect ratio needing to be changed to fit the screen. The TV's has only 5 picture formats:

Normal
4:3
Movie Expand
Zoom
Wide

Neither of these settings change it so the full screen resolution fits the computer desktop.

Any ideas?
